Web Directions focuses on practical and inspiring concepts, technologies and techniques for people whose day-to-day job is building websites, applications and services. Dubbed “the King of Web Standards” by Business Week, Jeffrey Zeldman co-founded and led the group and movement that brought standards to our browsers and changed the way designers and developers create and produce web content.
